Tips
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are quite a few tips that you will need that will help you out to complete
most of the lines. Here, I will try to get most of them in here.
1. Always, skate around and figure out what exactly you will need to
do to get the whole line.
2. Try to get at least one of your skaters stats up to the max that
they can be
3. Manualing is the key to everything, you can not get most of the
lines with out being able to manual very well.
4. You should get used to the level that you are going to try the
combo on, if you don't you will have to go through a lot of
needless frustration.
5. Try not to go too fast or too slow, both can destroy the attempt.
6. Try the lines in free skate mode, it would be pointless to do
in anything other that free skate.
7. Don't give up too easily, some off the combos are frustrating at
first, and will even take a few hours to do them correctly (not
the trick itself, but to finally do it right)
8. Look for a shortcut, some times you think that you have to do the
combo on way but instead, you can do it another, and it makes
it extremely easier.
9. Learn how to balance yourself well on grinds, even if it is not a
part of the combo, it will help you rack up you point totals.
10. When ever you are loosing you balance on a manual or a grind to a
point when you know that you will fall, jump, pull of a trick, and
land in a manual or a grind again, sometimes you will fall, but
others, for some reason, will balance you out perfectly.
11. Use a skater that you are used to, this way you know how to balance
him or her on manuals, and you know just how they will react.
12. If you are not good at performing quick tricks, turn on the slow-
nic code, it will slow down time while you are performing tricks.
This will allow you to pull off tricks that you normally would have
the reaction time for.
13. Wall ridding also helps, it can get you to some hard to get places
like on top of buildings, or it can get you huge air if you jump at
the right time, you can even pull of "The 900" if you jump at the
right time
14. If you are trying to get your multiplyer up, equip the Japan Air
Madonna or Airwalk. You will be able to pull off 2 Japan Airs in
between two manuals, and you will be able to get at least 6 in each
vert trick.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
All Around High Scores
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are a few ways to get high scores. There are two parts of your score, a
base score and a multiplier. The base score is the score before the
multiplication sign and the multiplier is the number after the multiplication
sign. If this is confusing here is a diagram .......
8564 is the base score and 12 is the
Base Score multiplier. To figure out the score of
8564 * 12 your combo the game figures out 8564*12
Multiplier If this was the score of your combo
then you would get a score of 102,768. Some
people have a hard time getting the base score while others have a hard time
getting the multiplier up. If you have trouble with one then you can still get
decent combos, but if you have problems with both then you will not get anything
over 100,000 with the average combo. To get a high base score is hard to do at
first until you figure out the secrets of it (You don't think that it is just
the line that you take did you?). The first thing that you will need is a long
rail or quarter pipe to grind. But just grinding will not help, you need to have
your skater equipped with an expensive special grind that you can balance easily,
most people find that Heelflip Darkslide is the easiest. Instead of just using a
special grind to a huge spin into the grind, and here is why...
The more that you spin,
Degree of Spin Times your score is higher the more the trick will
180 1.5 be worth. The increase
360 2 is shown on the left. So
540 3 if you do a 360 Heelflip
720 4 Darkslide for 5 seconds
900 6 it will be 2x the score
1080 8 if you did just Heelflip
1260 10 Darkslide. So the more
spinning you do the higher the
base score will be. Often times people ask "How do you get such huge spins into
a grind?" Well it is hard, I can only do the 1260 once every blue moon and the
1080 is still a freak the 900 is easier to do. To do them you will need to do
one of three things: do a quick wall ride then a spin into a grind, or jump off
of a building into a grind, or jump off of the side of a quarter pipe into a
rail. This is one of the hardest part of getting the huge score is the spinning.
Instead of just spinning while you are going into a grind, do a special grab
that is quick to pull off and also easy to spin with, the best one to do this
with is the Pogo Air. Once you get this down you will have a huge base score.
Getting your multiplier up is a little bit easier once you know what to do.
After your grind you won't have much grinding balance so you will have to get
your multiplier up another way. This way is easy. The easiest way and most
obvious way to do it is jump kick trick then manual the repeat as much as
necessary. The other way will get your multiplier up faster but you have to be a
little bit more careful. You have to wall ride and jump off, while you are in
the air you can pull off two to three kickflips before you land into another
manual, and if you wallride in a corner you can get some serious air, while
doing this it is easier to do a grab trick and get a little bit higher. Be
careful when going into the corner because often times you will get a Big Drop
and you could fall. Once you have a high base score and a high multiplyer (the
highest possible is 28.5 so try to be at around 20-25) you need to do something
to finish it off. The easiest way to do this is by jumping off of a quarter pipe.
While you are in the air you have to options to finish it off, one is to do one
long grab trick while spinning to get the base score a little bit higher, and
the other one is to do a few fast grab tricks to get you multiplier up a bit
more. When you land there is only one way to land and that is perfect. There are
quite a few people who have problems with this, the easiest trick to do that
helps you land perfect is the Benihanna, it pretty much just points the
direction in which you are going to land. Landing perfect will in some cases
over double your score. When you start to use the same move multiple times in
one move (or one run if you are in Career Mode or single Sesson) the score you
will get for that trick will go down. As you can tell from the chart that I made
the first time
that you do the trick you will get 100% what the
1st time- 100% trick is worth, then the second time that you do
2nd time- 75% the same trick you will get 75%, then the third
3rd time- 50% time you do that same trick you will get 50% of
4th time- 25% what the trick is worth, and the fourt time you
5th + time- 10% will get 25% of what the trick is worth, and every
after that you will get 10% of what the original trick was
worth. If you use this corectly, espesially in a run where you are trying to get
in the 10 million range this will help you out. If you know the first time you
do a special grind it will be worth a certain amount, then after you use it
again it is worth less, you might want to find a couple of special grinds that
you are good at to get a huge run, instead of using the same one over and over
again.

Line #5
Difficulty 7.5/10
Score ~ 3 250 000
What you need to do-
At the start of the level turn around and follow the path down the hill, when
the path splits go into the jungle gym area. Jump off of the right side using
the dirt hill as a kicker ramp. While in the air do a 720 Pogo Air and land in a

then jump off to your left and manual up the path that you came down, keep on
manualing and jumping until you get to the blue half pipe. Jump off of one side,
do a few tricks and then land perfect.
There is one really good spot that is not hard to pull off high scores. There is
an area with sex benches in a row by the Sadlands area. In between each one of
the benches is a gap that is worth 5000 points. Just go back and forth one time
then make your way to a quarter pipe and land perfect. These can get you up to 4
000 000 before you actually start LOOSING points.
WARNING!!!!!!!!! Read this to help you out!
If you do not beleive me about the loosing points, put on perfect balance and go
back and forth until you get your multiplier up to 28.5, then jump off and
manual around the more you jump the lower your base score will be, so be careful
when doing these lines.
